Abstract

We measure the magnetic susceptibility of a group of materials commonly used in the construction of low temperature cryostats. These materials are considered non-magnetic at room temperature. We use a variable temperature susceptometer to measure samples at temperatures between 2.0 K and 12.0 K and at magnetic fields between 0.25 Tesla and 4 Tesla. The samples we use include Aluminum, Beryllium Copper, fused silica, Grafoil, stainless steel, filled and unfilled epoxy, Macor, polycarbonate, aerogel, silver powder, Teflon, and Vespel. We present plots of the magnetization vs. temperature and field, and a table of the parameters to a fitting function which can be used to interpolate the data.
